TRUONG THI CHIN

Truong Thi Chin is 75 years old and lives in Tra Son, Tay Son, Binh Dinh. She has lived there her entire life.

One day, when she was returning from the rice fields she worked in, her parents informed her that South Korean troops were attacking her village to look for Vietcong soldiers that might be hiding there. She followed her parents into her home where she tried to hide from the troops.

A soldier came to her house and forced her parents out at gunpoint. He then raped her inside her own home.

Chin had a son from the assault. Their lives have been very difficult. Her son received no education, and still cannot read or write. She would like the South Korean government to take responsibility for what happened to her.
